Antoine Fuqua News, Pictures, and Videos

Denzel Washington is dapper in all black while attending the photo call for his latest film Equalizer held at the Hotel Bristol on Monday (September 15) in Paris, France.

The 59-year-old actor was joined by director Antoine Fuqua, who he has worked with before on their blockbuster hit Training Day.

“The reason why I called Antoine to direct this movie wasn’t just because of the material, though it was that too,” Denzel told the LA Times. “It was also because we had built up a confidence in each other after Training Day. On this movie, Antoine was counting on me to focus on the character, to create a performance that would make Robert McCall feel drawn from life. And I was counting on him.”

“I knew Antoine was going to be better than anyone else in creating the best environment for me and the other actors to do our jobs,” Denzel continued. “And he did that. It’s trust — I know that he’s got my back, and he knows I’ve got his, so we can make the million creative choices that will make the movie stand out.”

Olympus Has Fallen follows disgraced former Presidential guard Mike Banning (Butler) who finds himself trapped inside the White House in the wake of a terrorist attack; using his inside knowledge, Banning works with national security to rescue the President (Eckhart) from his kidnappers.

“Visited the San Diego Navy Base and the Marines yest. AMAZING! Made me proud to be (almost) an American!” Gerard wrote on Facebook. “My highlight of this journey so far was seeing the Marines’ enjoyment of the movie at Camp Pendleton. Check this out”
